One Ezeja Joseph Chukwuemeka was arraigne before the EFCC, Enugu Zonal office earlier on Wednesday, 18th October, before Hon. Justice. I. B Gafai of this Federal High Court Awka, Anambra State on a single count charge bordering on Obtaining the amount of N750, 000.00 (Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) under false pretence against section 1(1) (a) of this Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related offences Act N0 14 of 2006 And punishable under Section 1(3) of the identical Act.

In a bizarre case of twisted fate, Ezeja Joseph Chukwuemeka, that had hitherto been a complainant from the petitioner is presently facing trial for allegedly obtaining funds in precisely the exact same man he'd accused with a guarantee to thwart the ongoing investigation against him.
He'd promised that the petitioner whom he'd previously petitioned against (At a multi-million naira scam instance) that he had a sister who's a PRO at EFCC who had to be settled together with the stated amount of cash. Unknown to him, his dialog and subsequent collection of the cash in a beer palour was captured from the petitioner who seemingly wished to get even.

He pleaded not guilty to the one count charge preferred against him prompting the prosecution counsel, Mela Musa Gwani to ask for a trial date and equally prayed the court to remind the accused in prison custody.

The accused that he had no legal representation, even because he promised his attorney was on his way into the courtroom, but led together with the judge to grant him bail, but was advised that bond could only be allowed when it's legally filed and transferred by a attorney.
He was finally remanded in prison custody pending the ending of his bond application and the case adjourned into 7th December, 2017.
